Will Regina (Lana Parrilla) end up losing Robin (Sean Maguire) in the coming episodes of ABC's Once Upon a Time?

There are some rumblings on the Internet of Robin possibly being written out of the show. This is especially relevant after the recent episode teased Hades (Greg Germann) requesting three of Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) crew be offered up in exchange for Hook (Colin O'Donoghue). Will Robin be one of them? We'll have to see.

Regardless, Once Upon a Time creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz spoke with Entertainment Weekly recently about how fans should be feeling about Regina and Robin's story.

"I would say that we were just picked up for another year, so the story continues, "Kitsis noted. "That's like being mad in the middle of Hunger Games because she didn't win. You've got to wait until the end of the book."

"Regina's on a journey that's going to have ups and downs along the way," Horowitz added. "We're in the middle of the story."

Kitts's spoke about the show ultimately being about hope, so fans shouldn't get too discouraged even if Regina has a setback in her road to happiness.

"This is a show about hope, and I think it's a show that shows you that happy endings have to be earned, they're not easy and neither is hope," Kitsis noted. "It's the day to day struggles of how we achieve that."

Chief among those struggles is their relationship with Zelena (Rebecca Mader), who is the mother of Robin's baby.

"Robin and Regina will face some other conflicts as the season progresses; he's the father of this baby with Zelena, and that is something that, until it comes front and center and we have to deal with it, it's on the back burner--the number one focus is trying to get to Hook [Colin O'Donoghue]," Parrilla said in a previous interview with Variety. "But stuff happens down the road as the season moves forward with Zelena's character and her love for this baby, and what she ends up doing to try and get this baby back."

Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
